Water Absorbing Pavement by Using Porous Concrete

Water Absorbing pavement is a technique in Pavement construction. This technique we can find a solution for the low ground water level, effective management of rain water runoff, Agricultural problems, etc. Porous concrete can be introduced in low traffic volume areas, walk ways, sub base for concrete pavements, inter locking material etc. Porous concrete material have the ability to allow water to flow through itself to recharge ground water level and minimize surface rain water runoff. This property of porous concrete reviews its applications and engineering properties, including environmental benefits, strength. By replacing a part of cement with conplast SP430, then it results the more strength to the concrete. Hence it take acts as an eco-friendly paving material. Porous concrete is a special type of concrete, which consists of cement, coarse aggregates, water and if required, mixtures and other cement materials. As there are no fine aggregates used in the concrete matrix, the void content is more which allows the rain water to flow through its body. So the porous concrete is also called as Permeable concrete and Previous concrete.
